Since this week has been a bit light on news and new game releases, we take the opportunity to look back at our how the global pandemic and the lockdowns in India changed the way we approach gaming.

In this episode of the IVG Podcast:

This episode of the IVG Podcast is dominated by Outriders, which launched on Day 1 on Xbox Game Pass and saw a massive audience. Also covered on this episode:

This week on the IVG Podcast:

After a two-month hiatus, the IVG Podcast is back, and naturally, there is a whole lot to discuss. The biggest development since our last podcast has been the launch of the PS5, and this is also the first podcast since all three of us have had enough time with both new consoles.

So here are some of the topics we’ve covered in this episode:

For our first podcast of 2021, we take a special look back at a stellar generation of games that we had the pleasure of playing on PS4, Xbox One and PC. We broke down the generation across multiple categories to bring you our favourite games of the last generation, with added insight from a special guest – our good friend and gaming writer, Andre Rodrigues.

This week has been huge for the PS5 in India, however this episode was recorded prior to the predorders going live. We’ll go deeper into the PS5 pre-launch and all the drama around it in the next podcast.

We hope you enjoy this extended episode of the IVG Podcast, and we look forward to bringing you more podcasts all through 2021.

In our last episode of the year, we round off an eventful year in gaming with some of the most memorable games and gaming moments. From our favourite games to the bitter disappointments, this one is all about looking back through a year unlike any other.

The penultimate episode of the IVG Podcast for 2020 should have been a celebration of Cyberpunk 2077's long awaited launch, but we instead find ourselves discussing the fallout from its disastrous launch. Like the gaming community at large, we find ourselves divided on how the game eventually turned out. We also discuss the role of games media in misrepresenting the game's state at launch. Cyperpunk 2077 aside, we also talk about the Epic Games Store holiday sale, Ubisoft's abysmal holiday giveaway, and early impressions of Back 4 Blood.

This week's IVG Podcast can only be about one thing – Cyberpunk 2077. Having played the game on PC and console, we share our first impressions, general fan reception to the game, the game's plethora of bugs and glitches, as well as CD Projekt's approach towards pre-release reviews and footage capture. We also recorded this podcast the day after The Game Awards, so we also spent a bit of time talking about all the reveals and the winners.

Eight years after it was first announced, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally upon us. So naturally, this episode of the IVG Podcast is dedicated to CD Projekt’s ambitious new RPG. We talk about what excites us about the game, some of our concerns, and how we think it might be received by gamers. While CP77 dominates this episode, we also talk about Kratos’ appearance in Fortnite and the general perception of Fortnite with the core gaming community. We also have a lot to say on one of the most hotly debated topics in gaming – inclusivity and gender representation in gaming.

This week on the IVG Podcast, we take a trip down memory lane to when it all began:

In this week's podcast, we spend a little bit of time on next-gen consoles, but for a change, a chunk of this episode is dedicated to the games. Here's what we've covered in episode 59:

It's been an eventful week in gaming, both in India and abroad, and that's reflected in this episode of the IVG Podcast. We're also glad that this time around, we're talking as much about games as the consoles we'll be playing them on. Here's a list of topics in this week's episode:

After a frantic few weeks, this past week has been relatively more relaxed in the gaming world, but as always, there's plenty for us to talk about in the IVG Podcast. Here's a jist of what we've covered in episode 55:

Another event full week in gaming, both in India and globally, and we're here to talk about it all in episode 54 of the IVG Podcast. Before we get to the topics for this week, a big shout out to AMD for hooking us up with the PC gaming rig that we'll be using for streams and reviews going forward on IVG. Here's a quick round up of this week's episode:

Sony finally broke its silence on launch date and pricing for the PS5, but unfortunately for Indian gamers, Sony India is yet to make its plans known. But that gives us plenty to discuss on this episode of the IVG Podcast

Here’s a run down of what you can expect to here from us on this week’s episode:

It's been an extraordinarily eventful week, and that is reflected in yet another extended edition of the IVG Podcast. Here's what we've covered this week.

In this episode of the IVG Podcast, we try to put the horrible memories of Gamescom and hypothesise about what we might see at Ubisoft Forward. But that’s only part of what we have in store in this extended edition of the IVG Podcast, where one lucky listener also has a chance to win a cool Marvel’s Avengers Steelbook.

Here’s a complete rundown of IVG Podcast episode 51:

It’s time for a celebration because India’s first gaming podcast – the IVG Podcast – has reached a milestone of 50 episodes. What’s really incredible about it thought is that it’s taken us more than 12 years to reach this landmark.

From being called the GI Podcast to the IVG Podcast – and briefly even the Third World Gamers' Podcast – the last 50 episodes have been quite a journey through the history of gaming in India, but as we always do, it’s time to look ahead. And there’s a whole lot of that in this week’s episode of the IVG Podcast:

Just one to go before the big five-o and there was a lot to cover in this episode of the IVG Podcast:

We also give our views on which console we think will perform better as well as which one we'll be picking up at launch. Or will we just upgrade our PCs and get on Games Pass? Listen to find out!

Ghost of Tsushima is out, it’s awesome, it’s sold out, and we can’t get enough of it, but that’s only the tip of the iceberg for this week’s episode of the IVG Podcast. Here’s a quick rundown of the topics we’ve covered this time:

We just won’t go away! One year after the last one, we’re back with the latest episode of the IVG Podcast. And what a good time to come back too, hot on the heels of the Ubisoft Forward event.

This episode is predominantly focussed on what went down during Ubisoft’s digital event, but here’s a detailed look at what you can expect from this comeback episode, featuring Sam (HundredProofSam), Nash, and newcomer to the IVG Podcast, Gagan (x1n):
